Destructive fires have been sweeping over northern Nnbbin Ridge, destroying timber, wood, roils, fences, and even the marshes. The Beasy marsh is still burning, after two heavy rains. John Hurley’s babe upset a cup of hot coffee over its body last Thursday morning, and was scalded so bad that it died on Friday morning. Two threshing machines are lying disabled in this township. More wheat and rye are being sown in this township this fall
